The League Phase of the 2025/26 Champions League reaches the equator, and while the standings pressure isn’t that huge at the moment, teams will surely put in enough force to grab points. Weekend matchups in the championships will bring extra fatigue, and European heavyweights with wider rosters will have even more advantage over smaller teams. We expect attacking fests in the games involving two strong teams. So, here are some thoughts about the upcoming games:
| Date | Home Team | Away Team | BZ’s Betting Tip | Odds | Reasoning |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 04 Nov 2025 | Napoli | Eintracht Frankfurt | Napoli to Win | 1.60 | Napoli is strong at home and has richer squad depth, which should help them to be better prepared for another matchday. Frankfurt is pretty poor in the away games, having a bad season at this point. We expect hosts to show dominance and recover after two loses in three games. |
| 04 Nov 2025 | Slavia Prague | Arsenal | Arsenal to Win & Total Under 2.5 | 3.45 | Arsenal is superior in quality and can easily keep a clean sheet, while Slavia can also be very disciplined, especially at home. |
| 04 Nov 2025 | Liverpool | Real Madrid | Real Madrid to Win | 2.6 | Real’s European consistency and defensive balance give an edge over the unbalanced Liverpool this season. Despite beating Aston Villa 2-0 at home, the Reds aren’t as consistent as they were last season, allowing any opponent to create enough goal chances. With the fastest attack in the world, Real Madrid will be ready to punish hosts on the counterattacks and in transitions. |
| 04 Nov 2025 | Tottenham Hotspur | FC Copenhagen | Tottenham to Win & Total Over 2.5 | 1.95 | Tottenham should win at home after two losses to Chelsea and Newcastle. Copenhagen is a heavy underdog with poor away results. |
| 04 Nov 2025 | Paris Saint-Germain | Bayern Munich | Total Over 3.5 | 1.9 | This should be a very competitive matchup, with PSG holding the home advantage but having some troubles in the last games. Bayern looks unbeatable now, but they didn’t face too much competitiveness in Germany and have even rested some key players in the game against Leverkusen. With no playoff pressure, both sides should focus on the offense and try to outscore their opponents, leading to an exciting game. |
| 04 Nov 2025 | Olympiacos | PSV Eindhoven | Draw | 3.60 | A defensive home side will face an attacking approach from the hosts. It should lead to a balanced game with a highly likely draw. |
| 04 Nov 2025 | Juventus | Sporting CP | Juventus to Win | 1.95 | Juventus has home advantage and should increase its defensive solidity with the arrival of Spalletti as the head coach. Despite Sporting being dominant in Portugal, their UCL away games rarely bring surprises against European heavyweights. |
| 04 Nov 2025 | Atlético Madrid | Union Saint-Gilloise | Atletico Win to Nil | 2.10 | Atlético’s home edge and experience in Europe should lead to an easy game. USG has lost their last two home UCL games against Newcastle and Inter with a similar score (0-4), so their away chances look very slim. |
| 04 Nov 2025 | Bodø/Glimt | AS Monaco | Draw | 3.85 | Monaco is generally stronger in European settings, but the Norwegian side is a very tough opponent at home. It should lead to a close game and increased draw chances. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Pafos | Villarreal | Villareal to Win & Total Over 2.5 | 2.10 | Villarreal’s quality should outmatch Pafos, but the hosts are able to score at least once. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Qarabağ | Chelsea | Chelsea to Win & Total Over 2.5 | 1.90 | Chelsea’s pedigree and squad depth give them an edge, but Qarabag should try to score, hoping to take some points. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Ajax | Galatasaray | Galatasaray to Win | 2.10 | Galatasaray’s momentum is great, and they are coming against Ajax at the right time, as the hosts have defensive lapses and should lose at home. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Club Brugge | Barcelona | Barcelona (-1) Handicap | 1.75 | Barcelona is expected to dominate, and games like this should confirm their European status. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Inter | Kairat Almaty | 4 to 6 Goals in the Match | 1.90 | Inter superior in every department should bring an easy win against inexperienced guests. Kairat already showed enough vulnerability, and Inter will try to score a lot. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Manchester City | Borussia Dortmund | BTTS & Total Over 2.5 | 1.80 | City’s depth should lead to home control with a lot of pressure applied on the hosts. Although Dortmund is vulnerable under pressure, they are able to score against any opponent, and their tight loss to Bayern 2-1 confirms their power. With no significant pressure considering the result, teams should focus on goals and score 3-4 goals. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Newcastle United | Athletic Club | Newcastle (-1) Handicap | 1.95 | Newcastle’s home strength plus Athletic’s erratic away form should lead to the Magpies’ victory. Newcastle have some experience in the UCL and will try to turn home advantage into a good chance of scoring a lot. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Marseille | Atalanta | Marseille to Win | 2.10 | Marseille’s momentum at home vs Atalanta’s away inconsistency should bring a tight victory for Marseille. |
| 05 Nov 2025 | Benfica | Bayer Leverkusen | Benfica to Win | 2.15 | Benfica has the edge at home and seems to adjust to Mourinho’s requirements. Leverkusen is less stable in Europe this year, and after the heavy loss to Bayern, they shouldn’t be ready for a tough away game. |
